“To see that supporters of Wet’suwet’en sovereignty are facing up to 20 years in prison tells me that the state is very fearful of Indigenous resistance and those who support Indigenous resistance.

These charges are clearly an attempt to discourage solidarity with Indigenous sovereignty because we threaten the legitimacy of Canada.”

- Molly Wickham, Spokesperson of Gidimt’en Checkpoint.

The trials are still pending for the two people arrested in Bellingham, each facing 20-year prison sentences on charges of domestic terrorism after alleged nonviolent acts of sabotage, taken in solidarity with Indigenous land defenders of the Wet’suwet’en nation.

Quotes from Molly Wickham of Gidimt’en Checkpoint at the end of the article:::
